1% for the City lets you commit 1% of your revenue or profit to charities in Leeds. It’s inspired by 1% for the Planet, but is focused on the city we live and work in. And it helps address the growing gap between the business economy and the people suffering hardship in Leeds because of their socio-economic circumstances. Our manifesto is to: 1) Champion business to become a force for good which benefits wider society and the environment 2) Create a community of businesses committed to growing a more inclusive economy 3) Increase collective giving to charitable and social causes in the city 4) Provide a platform for which businesses can centrally contribute their financial donations 5) Illustrate the impact made businesses supporting the 1% model
